Save the Old Shin,

The rumor that the old flagship, Hart.
ford, which carried the pennant of Ad-
miral Farragut, on the Mississippi, is to
be condemned and sold, has aroused great
deal of sentimental interest, and the san
Francisco Chamber of Commerce is circu.

should be kept as the English kept the
Nelson's flagship, the Victory. aud, as we
have preserved, the frigate Constitution.

and should certainly make the most of
what we have. All the old war ships
should be saved, and in every great harbor
of the coast, both North and South, there
should be found some battle-scarred old
hulk as a constant reminder to Young
America Of the gallant figure that their
fathers made in history, aud the high
standard of courage that they may be
called upon to maintain. A formidable
war ship, badly crippled, argues brave
foe as well as brave crew, and the rising
generation Of both sections may some day
be called on to manifest the same bravery
against the enemies Of com non country
1t will not do to laugh at thls movemen,
/ to save the worn out ships as mere senti

for nations and mankind with no other

Sam Randall.

1t now looks as though the Pennsyl-
vania legislature intend to fix up Sam
Randall's district so he can be returned
to Congress. Cooper, the chairman of
the Republican state committee, says
Sam must be kept in congress. Cooper
knows as well as any man in that state,
that Randall wears the livery of Democ-
racy to serve the Republican party.
Randall is the friend of high taxes, in
the shape of import duties on the nec-
essaries of the farmer, mechanic and
laborer. Randall is Democrat that he
may better attack the party. He does
nothing to help and everything to hinder.
He is the friend of unjust taxation, that
fills our national Golfers, drawing from
the people millions of money not neces-
sary to carry on the wheels of govern
ment. We hold with Carlisle, "that it
is better to tax the people too little than
too much" 1t is clearly unjust to tax
the people more than is necessary to
carry on the government and pay just
debts.

Senator Sherman addresseda crowded
meeting Of workingmen at Cincinnati
on the evening OF March 18th. He be-
gan his speech by declaring that an
effort to establish third party could
only result in injuring one or both the
great parties. He declared that the
laboring man has more to hope from
the Republican than any other political
organization.
We agree with the Senator that an
effort to establish third party in the
face Of the two great parties viii, and
must, fail. To all questions there is an
affirmative and a negative :; there is no
third side to any question. The labor
ing class has hoped for relief from the
Republican partX have rested on fair
promises for years, till hope has turned
to despair. As well may the lamb hope
for protection from the wolf. The Re
publican party ask for high tariff, not
for the benefit of manufacturers, but to
help the laboring man. Then as soon
as our manufacturers get the protection
asked for, they rush to European
countries and hire ship loads of paupers
at starvation prices to take the place of
American artists.
1t is about time for the laboring man
to look to the Democratic party-their
only true friend.

Notes of the Convention.

The sixth annual encampment of the
G. A. R. and the third annual conven-
ton of the w. r. G. of Kansas, were
held March Sth, 9th and 10th at abb
lene, Dickinson county, and were very
enjoyable in spite of the amount of hard
work done by at least one of these
bodies. I cannot speak for the other,
but of ours, one of the comrades said,
that if the members ate or slept, he
was not aware of the fact.
The citizens of Abilene spared no
efforts to entertain us.
The town was gaily decorated with
the national cOlors, and there were sew
eral handsome arches which looked very
beautiful at night when Illuminated
with brilliant gas jets.
Upon the G. A. r. arch were the
words ''Our Flag we love; our Country
we adore" Upon that of the W. R..
c. 1.-THE hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world" 1 thought when 1
read it, ''That sounds we'll; what pity
that it isn't true"
The first session was held Tuesday
evening in the Masonic rooms, which
were beautifully decorated with flags
and drapings of red, white and blue.
Mrs. Bowman, of the Abilene corps,
made the address of welcome, which 1
wish you all could have heard. She re-
ferred briefly to the work of such
women as Mother Bickerdyke and Miss
Clara Barton during the war to Annie
Ella Carroll's grand brain work in plan
ming one of the most successful cam
paigns of the war, for which she has
never received either credit or remuner-
alton, and who is now old, infrm and
poor; and to Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
who composed the BATTLE Hymn of the
Republic" commencing "Mine eyes
have seen the Glory of the Coming of
the Lord" By the way, why do we
not sing this at our rallies and reunions :?
1t is set to the tune of "John Browns
Body" and the words are grand.
This address was responded to by
Mrs. Margaret R. Wickens, depart
ment president, in her usual happy
manner. Extracts from notes of the

The Man for the Hour.

r. 0ple who make the Democrat
party what it is have no fault to find
with Mr.. Cleveland. On the contrary,
they believe that no better man could
have been selected to convince the pub
lie sentiment of the North that the
Democratic party, in seeking control of
the government, were anxious to pro-
mote the welfare of the whole people.
No president has been so hampered by
circumstances, and no president has
shown himself to be more superior to
contingencies. He has inaugurated
and carried out an administrative policy
that will add thousands of voters to the
Democratic party in the next election,
and he has done this by devoting him
self to the interests of the whole
country, rather than the interests of a
section.-Atldnta Constitution.

Ours is a great country, great in re-

merits or dement's of the act, being read

Slow and Sure.

The chronic critics of the president
quite generally declared that he was
recklessly slow in making the appoint
ments of Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners. 1t is to be noted, however,
that. now the appointments have been
announced, the most captious can find
no reason to complain of them.
The president was slow because he
wanted to be sure, and the rich fruit of
that desire is a commission which all
agree will give the law fair trial, with
out fear of the roads and without in
clination to Cypress them. 1t is well
be to slow with such results. The peo-
pie like it.
